I'm also reading overlapping titles (in terms oftopic) like 'Slavery and the Meetinghouse' and'Fit for Freedom, Not Friendship' (both aboutQuakers and their attitudes toward slavery andAfrican-Americans since the 1600s).

I think my case is quite solid. Christians talkabout "God's Plan" for America. "ManifestDestiny" and "slavery" went together in a lotof peoples minds.
